Broadband getting cheaper and cheaper

I am sorry for not blogging for quite few days. I was busy with our new office and some work related to Inferno. Now the team will take it from here. My part if over for Inferno and got some time for blogging (Another thing: Today I went for root canal).

Story of the day, there has been some major changes for the broadband services in kolkata. Let me put that into various points (w.e.f from 1st Jan 2007, a very happy new year to all Internet users.)

For more details you can visit http://www.calcuttatelephones.com/tariff_broadband.shtml. These changes are required to improve the internet penetration level in India. Computers are getting cheaper as well, now a person can spend Rs 20,000 and get a highly configured computer. Happy surfing.

One of the best way to save a tooth that was enormously damaged or caried is to practice a root canal. The latter when the procedure is well realized, it represents a nice intervention. An x-ray is very important also to prevent some further complications. After performing this work a protector crown is then placed on it sometimes.http://www.teethwhiteningcare.com/root-canal-therapy.html
